Fun trivia: vscode uses ripgrep for its search feature

• xxpor 5y ago
  When I first started using VS code, I was googling around for a ripgrep extension for search. It took me a bit to find that oh, that's already the default. Shocking getting used to not having 40 years of legacy coming from emacs :)

    I'm using ivy/avy/counsel in Emacs and there's counsel-rg, which I use all the time. It's fantastic. It's not stock, but it's really easy to configure (and it calls ripgrep under the hood, so you need to install ripgrep).

    It's Emacs, so configuring it to use ripgrep instead of native is grep is possible in a few lines of Emacs lisp in your configuration file. See https://stegosaurusdormant.com/emacs-ripgrep/ https://stegosaurusdormant.com/emacs-ripgrep/

      I had done that. The point is with a modern editor, I don't have to. Emacs is unusable in a modern dev environment with its defaults. You have to write lisp.
